Manageable, Scalable Hardware Consolidation

You can transform your hardware into software. This enables you to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. A server virtualization strategy enables you to:

• Use fewer physical machines.
  
• Reduce hardware costs.
  
• Keep enterprise-class manageability and performance.

Server Virtualization / Consolidation

One of the fastest growing technologies in the IT sector is Server Virtualization, sometimes referred to as Hardware Virtualization. Server virtualization transforms hardware into software and enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines (VMs). With server virtualization, you can consolidate workloads of underutilized server machines onto a smaller number of machines and increase the utilization of your resources. Using a virtualization strategy you can use fewer physical machines
which can help reduce costs and provide a flexible infrastructure with enterprise-class manageability and performance.

Storage Virtualization / Consolidation

Storage administration and software expenses run approximately seven times the cost of storage hardware. It is important to control these costs and lower the total cost of ownership. Storage consolidation enables you to maximize and share storage hardware across multiple servers. Virtualization provides a centralized, flexible method of management that masks the complexity of the storage environment and reduces administrative overhead.ter what type of device they are using.
